Re: Gauges Help (Engine-Boy)
Assuming the other gauges work (the fuse is good) then to test your gauge remove the wire from the sending unit and with ignition on ground it. If the gauge moves, replace the sending unit. If it doesn’t, check continuity on the wire between the sending unit and the dash-repair if no continuity. If the sending unit is good and the wire is good then pull the cluster out and make sure the circuit board is good. If all the paths are intact then likely the gauge itself is bad. You can get a replacement from Dr Rebuild or the other catalogs or you can have it rebuilt. I have had good success with Clocks By Roger.
